Talho Major
About
On Madeira, Talho Major is a local business. The butcher occupies a spot on ER101 201, 9270-093 Santa Maria Madalena, Portugal, placing it in the island's north-western parish of Santa Maria Madalena. For anyone moving between the main towns and resorts, the ER101 road makes the shop straightforward to reach by car.
Talho Major operates as a butcher, a trade built around fresh meat and the daily needs of local kitchens. Customers have given it a 4.9 out of 5 average across 872 reviews, a record that reflects how consistently it has been received. The shop also sits within reach of Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta, so it fits into a wider circuit of the island.
Opening hours run from Monday to Friday, 08:30-20:00, giving a full working week of service. Two photographs accompany the listing, offering a first look at the premises before a visit. The address on ER101 201 anchors the shop firmly in Santa Maria Madalena.
Madeira's mid-Atlantic setting brings a mild oceanic climate, keeping the landscape green through the year, with summer the driest and warmest stretch. Cooking on the island draws on fresh seafood, locally raised beef and cheese, and wines from volcanic soils, so a butcher sits close to the heart of the local table. Direct flights from Europe serve the island, and Portuguese is the everyday language, so a few words help in shops and markets. Talho Major's position in Santa Maria Madalena makes it a practical stop for anyone travelling the island's north-western roads.
